How much does a Hurghada quad safari cost, and what is included?
Updated October 23, 2026 · 6 min read
For most visitors, the Quad Bike Tour of the Desert and Red Sea is the sensible middle ground: it lasts 3 hours, starts at €12.87 and has 3,358 reviews. The cheapest choice is the two-hour Makadi Bay ATV Tour from €10.50. Choose the quad, camel and optional BBQ trip when an evening meal matters. Paying €36 only makes sense if driving a buggy as well as a quad is part of the reason you are going.

What the lowest fare actually buys
The Makadi Bay route crosses sandbanks through scenery bordered by mountains and sea; Bedouin tea and a camel ride also feature in the description. It works when time and cost matter more than a long programme. Check your pickup area before paying, however. A departure sold from Hurghada does not create the same transfer time from every resort along the coast.

The classic trip is sold in several versions: sunrise with breakfast, daytime riding, or sunset with dinner and stargazing. The headline price therefore cannot represent every add-on. It also has the largest review count in this comparison, making it the easiest recommendation for somebody who has not decided whether dinner belongs in their safari.

When paying more is worthwhile
The three-hour camel-and-BBQ product costs almost twice the basic ride without claiming a longer duration. Its value is the evening under the stars. A 4.9 rating is impressive, but the meal is explicitly optional; open the selected departure and confirm that the version in your basket includes it.

The priciest trip adds buggy driving, a Bedouin village and an introduction to herbs and natural oils. It is poor value for anyone who only wants uninterrupted quad time. For friends or a couple keen to compare two machines without arranging separate outings, the extra cost buys a genuine difference.

Compare the amount at checkout
Do not combine the starting fare with every service mentioned and assume that total describes one package. Sunrise, daytime and sunset can be separate selections inside a single product, while “optional” applies specifically to the barbecue elsewhere. Enter the date and party size, then compare the final selection for your resort’s transfer, food, camel, buggy and recording. Treat a scarf, goggles or photographs in the same way: they belong in your calculation only when the chosen departure confirms them. This reveals the useful price, rather than merely the smallest figure printed on the card.
The decision is clear: Makadi for the lowest bill, the BBQ option for dinner, and the combination for buggy driving. For a first attempt, book the three-hour Desert and Red Sea quad trip; it avoids charging you in advance for extras that may not improve your day.
